' of metal containing a lining of vitreous material'or enamel, r containing spirituous lliquors and other substances that actupon Va metal vessel having no lining.

The object of the invention is to provide a receptacle or barrel of this nature, formed in two complemental cup members joined together, whereby the protecting lining will extend into the joint andA thoroughly protect the metal at the joint from access by the liquid. I

In the accompanying drawing showing an embodiment of my invention, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the barrel. Fig. 2 shows enlarged a section through one of the joints, when the members are first brought together. Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. 2, with the end portions of the flanges rolled together; and Fig. 4 shows still further enlarged, the flanges `brought together under pressure and the joint closed.

This invention is an improvement on a joint for barrel patented to me September 22nd, 1908, No. 899,338. In such receptacle the flanges projected outwardly from the two cup members, and were secured bysoldering or welding at their outer edges, and the lining ofenamel at its edges brought together into contact. In the present invention, the enamel-lining extends a short distance into and ,between the flange portions of the two cup members, and then a washer or flat rin member is interposed between these two ange portions covered with the enamel, and the end portions of the flange portions ofv the cup members, are rolled together to form a bead under high pressure to produce a fluid tight mechanical joint, without the necessity of soldering or welding.

The washer member interposed between the lined portions of the flanges is prefer- BARREL.

rolled together and will prevent fracture of` the lining, at the same time will form a tight joint.

In the drawings the rece tacle is shown as formed by twocup shape members 5 and 6, having at their edges flanges 7 and 8 extending outwardly. Before these cup members are brought together they are given a lining of vitreous ymaterial or enamel, 9 and 10, that extends a short distance only on the flange portions, as denoted by 11 and 12. A fiat ring washer 13 is inter osed between the lined portions of the gauges, and is formed of any suitable material soft enough to admit of a certain amount of compression. If desired this ring member may extend a short distance beyond the lined portion of the flanges.

The portions of the flanges adjacent the cup members extend substantially transverse to the cup members for a distance slightly greater than the length of the linin portions of the flanges, and then the en portions of the flanges are brought together and given a roll or bead 14, under extreme pressure whereby a fluid tight joint is produced, as indicated in Fig. 4:. At the same time the lstraight portions of the flanges are pressed together to tightly engage the washer between the lined portions of the anges and thereby form a fluid tight joint, so that the liquid cannot enter the joint and have access to the metal beyond the lining portion. Where the washer is formed of tin or the like, it will compress and conform to the inequalities of the lining at the flanges. It will be seen that this joint is formed without the soldering or welding of the flange ortions, and at the same time a tight joint 1s 'formed between the lined cup members of the receptacle.

Preferably the metal receptacle is inclosed in a wooden'casing W rovided with a suitable socket S for the oint of the barrel.

Having thus descri ed my invention, I claim:
